Will the new AUA/SUFU guideline on overactive bladder change how you practice?

It will. There are people who come in and they say, "I have to go to the bathroom 20 times a day. I can't make it to the bathroom because the urgency is so strong." Throwing some medications with these side effects...I think if you can get a Botox injection, and you get better, it's hard to argue with that [vs] being on months and months of medications that may not work. I think it really is going to change my practice.
